★★★★★ SUNDAY TIMES

Teenage Stage is one of just a few, English speaking arts educational courses in Europe to partner with boarding schools. Ours is a traditional summer school, that maintains the best of tradition, whilst constantly introducing new ways to teach musical theatre, drama and filmmaking.

Each course is small and friendly, providing a complete drama or film school elective, where students learn from the finest teachers and, outside rehearsal rooms, enjoy an impressive range of guest workshops, masterclasses and evening activities.

The beautiful surrounding areas in Kildare and Cork provide a stunning location and a safe environment for an exciting learning experience.

We very much look forward to welcoming you to Teenage Stage 2025!
